But what else is there to do while you're installing a a Win2k3 server or compiling a new Linux kernal?

DC is a godsend to anybody doing onsite tech work. It gives you something to do - and your client something to look at. Now I'm furiously pounding my keyboard and looking thoughtful. In the old days, I'd just sit a stare off into space (or maybe flirt a bit with the receptionist) while something loaded.

But since I've discovered DC, I haven't had a single "Suit" come in and glance meaningfully at his watch before saying: "Is this going to take you much longer?" while little $$$$$'s floated around in the thought cloud above his pointed head.
